Hi all Breaking with recent tradition and discussing something related to the operation of the NZ tubes... My employer has a TVH business fibre connection, and since around midnight Saturday/Sunday the latency to 8.8.8.8 (one of my Smokeping test subjects) has been consistently > 160ms. mtr tells me: |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WinMTR statistics | | Host - % | Sent | Recv | Best | Avrg | Wrst | Last | |------------------------------------------------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | firewall - 0 | 124 | 124 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 203.167.222.5 - 1 | 120 | 119 | 0 | 2 | 51 | 51 | | ge-0-2-0-1.xcore1.acld.telstraclear.net - 0 | 124 | 124 | 0 | 3 | 62 | 1 | |ge-0-2-0-914.xcore2.acld.telstraclear.net - 0 | 124 | 124 | 0 | 3 | 48 | 2 | | gi1-2.akl-grafton-bdr2.ihug.net - 0 | 124 | 124 | 1 | 2 | 29 | 11 | | No response from host - 100 | 24 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | tu20232901.akl-grafton-core1.ihug.net - 0 | 124 | 124 | 129 | 132 | 192 | 164 | | 209.85.249.5 - 0 | 124 | 124 | 176 | 178 | 242 | 200 | | 209.85.250.63 - 0 | 124 | 124 | 176 | 187 | 252 | 195 | | 72.14.232.63 - 0 | 124 | 124 | 181 | 183 | 246 | 199 | | 72.14.233.200 - 0 | 124 | 124 | 189 | 191 | 251 | 213 | | 216.239.48.165 - 0 | 124 | 124 | 179 | 182 | 244 | 197 | | No response from host - 100 | 24 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | google-public-dns-a.google.com - 0 | 124 | 124 | 179 | 183 | 246 | 200 | |________________________________________________|______|______|______|______|______|______| The sudden latency jump at akl-grafton-core1.ihug.net kinda leaps out.

IPSec vendor interoperability war stories
by Mark Goldfinch 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi everyone, I have a business need to support IPSEC tunnels with many different vendors as we don't get to select our partner's equipment vendors. We've had some recent problems with our existing equipment. At the moment we're look at whether whether software upgrades will help our current situation. While we're doing that we're also looking at what other options exist. I'd appreciate anyone's operational experiences between different IPSec vendors, either on-list or to me directly if you want to protect the identities of the not so innocent :-) Beer for those who can offer their experiences! Thanks, -- * *Mark Goldfinch | Systems Team Leader MODICA GROUP nz: +64 4 498 6000

Vodafone RBI Tower Cosite
by Jonathan Brewer 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi Folks, Anyone want to share their experiences co-siting on one of Vodafone's new RBI funded towers? As I understand there are fixed prices for co-site, backhaul from Chorus, etc.. It should be a pretty sweet deal. If there's anyone from Vodafone listening, I'd appreciate a pointer to a location list, rate card, and application form. I can't find them online. Cheers, Jon
